$Dragonflies and damselflies are not just mesmerizing aerial acrobats; they play a crucial role in maintaining ecological sustainability. As natural predators, they help control mosquito and pest populations, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Their presence also indicates clean water and healthy ecosystems, making them vital indicators of environmental health. Protecting their habitats supports biodiversity and promotes sustainable ecosystems.\nLocation: Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh (India)$

$Tot 35-39mm, Ab 25-33mm, Hw 17-24mm.

May be more numerous at recent shallow or acidic sites, but not specific to pioneer, ephemeral or bog-like conditions.\n\nFlight Season:\nGenerally from mid-May to mid-October, peaking in August. Most emergence tends to be a week later than L. dryas.\n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands in the described Habitats.$
